| Let's try to ask, "Can I have some soap?" This is Sabun alabilir miyim? Let's break it down: Sa-bun a-la-bi-lir mi-yim? Once more, Sabun alabilir miyim? |
| The first word, Sabun, means "soap." Sa-bun. Sabun. The last Alabilir miyim means "can I get." A-la-bi-lir mi-yim. Alabilir miyim. |
| All together, that is Sabun alabilir miyim? Sabun alabilir miyim? |
